Re: Question about Fall Planting, Tenn Z 7

Hi

Most perennials benefit from planting in the autumn and wintering over so
in the spring they
can go for it, gives them some growing time before the rest so they are
going to look bigger
for the summer flowering months.  Anyway this is what I do, I split my
perennials then and 
replant as well as from summer seed sowing as well.

> I would like to introduce myself by way of this first post, although I
have learned a lot reading others' posts over the past few months.  I am a
fairly new perennial gardener and there is much to learn.  I will be
visiting my father in Memphis TN, (zone 7?) in October, and want to help
him prepare small perennial bed(s) for his small space, which contains a
very large tree that keeps most in shade, or part-shade, and on the dry
side.  My thought was prepare the soil in the bed(s) this visit, and then 
in a spring visit, help him plant the beds with perennials.  But I'd really
like to plant something!
> 	My question is, is there anything we could fall-plant that would survive
over the winter, other than pansies, which aren't really perennials, and
maybe mums? Bulbs would need to go in later in the winter, I believe. It
seems I have heard you can plant some perennial plants in the fall, but I
can't locate the information.  Any ideas here would be much appreciated.
